Compeer Financial

Compeer Financial is a member-owned Farm Credit cooperative headquartered in Apple Valley, Minnesota. It was formed through the merger of several regional Farm Credit associations and now serves agriculture and rural communities with financing and risk management services. The cooperative's strategy centers on agricultural lending, including loans for crop production, livestock, equipment, and farm real estate. It also offers leases, crop insurance, and risk management products. Compeer Financial actively finances renewable energy projects and provides capital for rural infrastructure. Its portfolio spans dairy, swine, grain, and other sectors. The firm collaborates with specialists across industries, leveraging in-house expertise to support borrowers. With over 1,500 employees, Compeer Financial serves more than 80,000 member-owners. The cooperative operates offices in Apple Valley, Minnesota, and additional locations including New York, Atlanta, and London. Through its Compeer Giving program, it awards grants, scholarships, and financial gifts to support youth, workforce development, and rural communities. As a cooperative rather than a traditional financial institution, Compeer Financial is owned by its borrowers, who receive patronage distributions when earnings are strong. This structure aligns the firm's incentives with the long-term health of its members' farms.
